Electrical Control Panels An Exquisite and Unique Combination of Electrical Devices

An electrical control panel is basically a combination of electrical devices which utilize electrical power for controlling several mechanical functions of industrial equipment or machinery.

The equipment used in the industry along with the machines require defined functions and sophisticated control for achieving their multiple process goals.

The electrical control panels are used for carrying out these functions in the equipment used for manufacturing purposes.

Generally, an electrical control panel includes two main categories namely-

• Panel Structure
• Electrical Components

Add Mechatronics is one of the best suppliers of Electrical Control Panels in Gujarat and they have acquired a distinct niche in the market by virtue of their top class products.

Besides these panels, we also provide other popular products pertaining to the field of electronics & automation such as Patch Cords and IOT Gateway Devices.

Critically Important to the Industry

When a person or a professional has an acute understanding of the electrical control panels, he/she is totally aware that these devices are critically important to the industry.

The structure of this panel is a fusion of an enclosure and a back panel, which holds a lot of similarity to a breaker box in a home or office.

We are the best Electrical Control Panel Manufacturers in India  and it is typically made of aluminum or stainless steel.

Further, due to the amazing construction and efficiency of these panels, they have been used for various automation purposes in the industry.

Components of the Electrical Control Panel

Due to several useful properties of Electrical Control Panels, they have been extensively used for several production operations. Let us have a look at these properties-

• Explosion Proof Rating
• Waterproof
• Useful for indoor as well as outdoor use
• Hazardous conditions rating

The electrical control panel comprises of eight type of electrical components and they have their respective functions to be carried out-

• Surge Arresters- This component helps in prevention of lightning strikes and protects the electrical components from getting damaged due to overvoltage.

• Transformers- These are vital components as due to incoming voltage, transformers help in reducing the voltage and this help is conserving the power.

• Main Circuit Breaker- These circuit breakers are like the disconnect of the main electrical panel that leads into a home or office. The main circuit breakers have the capacity of handling 120V-480V in multiple industrial applications.

• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)- This component acts as CPU, which is present inside the control panel and it is symbolic to the brain of the control panel. The PLC helps in monitoring and controlling various mechanical processes. This equipment has multiple inputs and outputs that help in mechanizing the functions of the production equipment.

• Terminal Blocks - These blocks help in organizing and distributing several arrays of wires that emanate from various sources and are connected to several electrical devices.

• Relays and Contactors-  The relays and contactors act as on/off switches that help in controlling mechanized functions according to the commands from the PLC. The size of the relays help in controlling functions like lights and fans & larger relays known as contacts help in controlling much more advanced functions like motors.

• Network Switches- The network switches act as the communication hub of the control panel and as they help in facilitating communication between the PLC and various devices that are compatible on the production line.

• Human Machine Interface (HMI) - These components help an operator for monitoring or controlling multiple functions of the machinery. Some examples of HMIs are video monitors, joysticks, buttons, switches, and keyboards.
